# How do I know when my instructor has graded my assignment?

When a change is made to your course grades, the Grades link in Course Navigation adds a indicator representing the number of changes in a course since your last visit. The Grades page shows the details of your graded assignments.

**Note:** You can also [set up notifications](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-my-Canvas-notification-settings/ta-p/615326) to know when your instructor grades an assignment.
